AN EX-GOVERNOR SUICIDES.
Ex-Governor Reynolds, of Missouri, Jumps
Down an Elevator Shaft.

Hon. Thomas G. Reynolds committed
suicide at the custom house in St. Louis
Wednesday afternoon by plunging down
an elevator shaft from the third floor
He fell the distance of eighty feet and
crushed in his skull The cause of the
act was mental arrangement superin-
duced by hallucinations that he was
about to become insane. In his pocket
book was found a letter to his wife, stat
ing that two years ago he contracted
malaria at Aspinwall and had failed to
recover, the disease settling in his spine.
Recently he had been troubled with
insomnia and frequent nervousness.
Visions invited him to join his dead
friends, and fearing lest he should be a
burden to his wife by becoming a luna
tic--having twice before been troubled
with dementia, and his estate of $50, 600
being in order, unimpaired and product
i've, lie determined to end his life.
Governor Reynolds was born in Char
lesion, S. c. He studied in the university
of Virginia and continued his studies in
Germany, graduating at Heidelberg In
1912. He spent one year in the university
of Paris; and was admitted to the bar in
Virginia in 1874 He was secretary OF
the United States legation to Spain in
1916 and 1848 In 1859 he located at St
Louis. In 1850 he was elected lieutenant
governor of Missouri on the same ticket
with Governor Caleb Jackson, and in the
civil war sided with the confederacy At
the close of the war he went to Mexico,
In 1868 he returned to St. Louis He
was member of the commission sent to
South America about two years ago in
the interest of commerce with the United
States. In 1854 he fought a du 4 with
b. Gratz Brown, with rifles at thirty
PAGES, on the islands opposite st. Louis,
over political discussion. Mr.. Brown
was hit in the knee, but Governor Rey
nolds was not touched, Ii is believed
that Governor Reynolds only intended to
main Mr. Brown.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Fiend Murders aud then Burns His Wife
near Ada, Ala.

The particulars of the most horrible
crime in the criminal records of Alabama
have just come to light Last Tuesday
morning Tarleton Steele, colored, muir
dered and then burned his wife, near Ada,
in Montgomery county. About two
o'clock in the morning they had a quarrel
and hot words led to blows. Tarleton
struck his wife on the head with an axe
handle, killing her almost instantly. He
then took the body and carried it off to
a lonely place in the woods, mile from
home, threw it in gully, piled trash and
straw on it, then poured kerosene oil on
the heap and stuck fire to it. He then
returned home and left the body to be
cremated. The gentleman on whose
place he was living missed the woman,
but said nothing about it, and the muir
derer remained on the place day and
night after the crime was committed.
Thursday morning he went back to the
woods and found that the body had not
been entirely burned up. He put trash
on the remains, but having no match to
start the fire again he fled.
Suspicion had been aroused, and the
neighbors searched the woods and found
the remaining portions of the body. The
murderer was captured ten miles distant
and brought to Montgomery to jail. He
made full confession of the terrible
deed, and says he burned the body to
conceal the crime The murderer is a
small black negro about twenty five years
old

The Cotton Factors Of New Orleans VIII
Have No Union tIen.


At a meeting of the cotton factors and
cotton buyers of New Orleans Friday,
President Walnisley in the chair, the fol-
lowing joint resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The experience of six years
has demonstrated that business can no
longer be protitably conducted, as cotton
labor unions of this city are now organ
lied. as our business is constantly being
rupted and is liable to interruption at
any time, we having practically no con-
troll over our employees; and as our bust
ness is virtually suspended in conse-
quence of controversy which we did
not originate and in which we had no
part; be it, therefore,
Resolved, BY the cotton factors and
buyers of New Orleans, that we pledge
ourselves to discharge the weighers,
classers, and others employed by as un-
lass they shall at once resign from all or
CARNATIONS that may in any way impede
the commerce of the city of New Orleans
The following resolution was then
adopted with but two dissenting votes
Resolved, That the New Orleans cot
ton exchange in general meeting assem-
bled, indorses and approves the action
the cotton factors md cotton buyers,
embodied in the general resolution he
with presented.

THEY WANT THE OFFICE.
Quo-WnrrantO Suits Brought In a North
Carolina Court.

Carolina Court.
A case of quo warranto, involving the
right to the office of register of deeds OF
Ashville, N. c., the fees of which amount
to about three thousand dollars per an
mum, has for several months awakened a
deep public interest at that place. A
democrat, J. r. Patterson, is the present
incumbent, and the relator is Robert
Cole, republican, elected at the late
election and failed to file a bond on the
day directed by the statute. A learned
argument was made by Major W. ii.
Malone for the relator, and by Captain
NJ f. Carter for the defendant. His
honor, Judge Graves, decided in favor OF
The defendant and the relatOr appealed.
A decision was also rendered in the
,imiar coupon tax case of II. A. Carper,
taller of Pulaski county, Va, against
Richard L. Fitzgerald. Appeal from the
United States circuit court for the east
crn district of Virginia. Fitzgerald, the
appellee in this case, is a travelling sales
man for the firm of Austin, Field 81 Co.,
Of Philadelphia. He was arrested in
Pulaski county, Va, for doing business
without license, after he had made an Of
fet Of receivable coupon in payment
for such license. Upon a writ Of habeas
corpus he was discharged from custody
by Judge Bond, of the United States
circuit court for the eastern district Of
Virginia, sitting as circuit Judge III
chambers at Baltimore. The state of
Virginia through its jailer, appealed
from Judge Bonds decision to the court
at Asheville This court holds that the
act of March 3, 1885, allows appeals in
habeas corpus cases only from decision
of the circuit court, and that the decision
of the circuit judge sitting in chambers
is not decision of the court, even al
though such judge may order the papers
filed, and his order recorded in the cir
cult court. The appeal is, therefore,
dismissed. Opinion by Chief Justice
Waite.

CORRUPTION IN OFFICE.

The grand jury OF Chicago investigated
job Tuesday connected with the build
ing Of sewer from one of the public
schools and it is said has as good as de.
cided to indict the two contractors and
county commissioner on account Of their
share in the transaction. The story goes
that the commission will be charged with
bribery, penitentiary offense, and pun
ishable with greater severity than any Of
the other charges against the boodlers.
Conspiracy will be charged against the
contractors and the evidence is repre-
sented to be conclusive. A common
rumor has all along stated there was So,
900 involved in the artesian we'll job at
Ravenwood, and that this money was d.
vided among the commissioners and one
warden. The jury gave up part Of their
time to-day to tiud out the truth Of this
story. Witnesses are said to have per-
.onal knowledge Of the transaction.

HE SOLD THE RACE.
The Captain of the Defeated Yacht, Dsunt-
less Tells II Tale.

A special from London dated Wednes-
to-day to learn that Captain Samuels,
captain of the Dauntless had severed all
relations with Caldwell H. Colt, the
owner of the defeated yacht, and after
denouncing ali on board had left the
vessel. Soon a dozen or more prominent
yachtmen boarded the Dauntless to get
further particulars. But little informa-
ton was volunteered to them by Mr..
Colt, who looked upon the sudden de
parture of the famous skipper as an out
rage. He declined to make statement
beyond the assertion that Captain Samu-
els and five of the rev had deserted the
vessel without satisfactory cause. Cap,
tain Samuels is particularly bitter against
his former employer, and says in a most
positive way, that Mr.. Colt is responsible
. for the failure of the Dauntless in the
race. He charges that shortly after the
yacht lost sight of Fire Island light, Mr.
Colt became abusive. His language was
ungentlemanly, and it was only when,
Captain Samuels alleges, he was accused
CT trying to allow the Coronet to obtain
al ILlCCONCIdOlC liitbG ll6 ltluoCu W
listen further to his employers utter
ances During the passage across, the
progress of the yacht was handicapped
by her owner. When Captain Samuels
saw that Mr.. Colts ill-advised instruc-
tions were acting to the detriment of the
vessels speed, he determined to fill the
place for which he was engaged, Or re
linquish all responsibility But Mr.. Colt
disregarded his protests entirely and con
tinued to give orders to the various men
at the wheel, notwithstanding Captain
Samuels ordered otherwise. Finally,
Captain Samuels says, the control of the
vessel devolved upon Mr.. Colt, and he,
the captain, had only an outside voice.
He therefore, attributed the defeat of
the vessel to the mismanagement of her
owner and his interference with the
standing and well regulated rules of sea

poles. The outgoing English mail,
which left Friday, is still stuck between
Riviere de Loup and Remouski, while
the increasing English mail and an emil

THE LONGsHoREMEN SUIT.
The Case Against the LOngshoremen stri-
kers ia Court.

Louis F. Post filed Monday, with the
clerk of the United States circuit court
of New York, answers to James T.
Quinn, Timothy B. Putnam, Patrick Nc
Garland, John J. McKenna and James
McGrath, knights of Labor, against
whom the Old Dominion Steamship com
pany brought suit for $50, 900 damages,
and who were held in bail for trial. The
case grew out of the boycott of freight
handled by the company. In their an
swers Quinn, Putnam and Mcfarland
deny all other allegations and claim that
the longshoremen were '4ocked out" by
the company because they refused to ac-
cept a reduction of wages; that employees
were paid by the hour only, and were
under no contract for any term Of service
whatever; that the longshoremen met in
a peaceable and orderly manner for the
purpose of maintaining the rate Of wage,
of their craft, and that they, the defend
ants, only acted as mediatOrs to settle
the dispute. McKenna and McGrath
admit being officers Of the Ocean associ-
alton Of longshoremen, and claim that
they were justified in their actions, being
under no contract to the Old Dominion
company. The defendants ask for judg.
ment dismissing the case, with eosts.
